Well, gee, the Penguins must be an incredibly undisciplined team to get called 10 times in a single game. Interfering, boarding, hooking, finishing checks, breathing on opponents too hard. Either their coaches are professors of goonism or the players are taking it upon themselves to commit all those fouls.

What's that? They were the 2nd least penalized coming in? Well, gee, what were all those other refs thinking? It must have taken the right set of officials to expose the Pens' nefarious ways and prevent them from using their physical, sorry, I mean dirty play to their advantage. Now that that's been exposed, they'll have trouble winning any games, because obviously they don't have any talent, well, not except Crosby, Malkin, Neal, and Kunitz.

The officials were awful early. I don't understand how Vitale got a penalty for either of his hits or the Engelland penalty. After those 3 penalties I think they were afraid to hit anyone because it seemed like every check was a penalty.

The penguins got frustrated by all the awful calls and when the Devils went up 2 to 1 they took a bunch of stupid penalties. They took a few dumb ones before they fell behind too like the Dupuis elbow and the Malkin interference.

On top of the awful penalties I found the icing calls before the Devils first goal and the pp the Devils scored on to take the lead to be incredibly questionable. In both cases the Devil player could have easily gotten to the puck.

At the end of the day its just one game. Come out and play hard tomorrow and get the win against an inferior Devils team.

I'm shocked that Brooks lost control; most situations he is not one to lose his temper.

as fans I guess we're entitled to see a victory every game. ? that was a hof goalie . I'm sure devils looked at video of paul martin at the point. Every game isn't easy. Maybe Disco should have used Simon for some of the power plays with 1st unit. No one but Letang has the speed to recover for the shorthanded chances though.

The devils know more than anyone that Martin isn't a threat from the point. It's an easier PK when you don't have to cover one of the players on the other team.

Or the Devils PK is really, really good

Let me think, I have Crosby on one Half wall, I have Malkin on the other side, Neal around te net and I want my point man to shoot ? Ummmm. I think if he point shot more than once they would be all over himnto pass the puck.

Martin actually sets those guys up pretty good with his passes. It's a lot like Sullivan gave them. More organization on the PP. did Neal even play today? Malkin you know did because he gave it away every other time touching the puck. Oh yea when he wasn't in the box.
